Welcome to the FDA Oncology Tools web site!  Oncology Tools contains a variety of information related to cancer and approved cancer drug therapies.  You may take a quick tour of the information here,  select a category from the menu on the left or from the brief descriptions below. View what is new for approvals, upcoming meetings, and on this site.

Rather than grouping all drug product information together, this web page is a first effort at pulling together information by disease category which we hope will make this information easier to find and use.  This is a pilot project, and we encourage you to give us lots of feedback about what you like and don't like about the page and how it can be made more useful to you.  We'll be using your comments to improve this page and to determine whether to expand this approach  to other disease categories.  Comments.

 

Approved Oncology Drugs - contains information about approved cancer therapies, product labels, approval summaries, what drugs are approved for what diseases, and considerations for making decisions about therapies, including advice on when to contemplate using unapproved drugs and how to obtain access to unapproved drugs.

For information on cancer drugs, please see the National Institute of Cancer's Drug Information Summaries.
